Advocacy

The Missouri Nurses Association closely monitors important legislation and very often supplies testimony or expert insight into issues of concern to nurses for federal, state and local government, ensuring that nurses are adequately and effectively represented. Each member helps to make the association a more powerful political advocate by lending his or her voice to the advancement, protection and promotion of the nursing profession.

Continuing Education

In the beginning of 2013, several state nurses associations (SNAs) formed a collaborative, namely the Midwest Multistate Division (Midwest MSD), with the goal of promoting efficiencies and growth. The Midwest MSD provides unified tools and technologies and streamlined resources, while taking advantage of ANA capabilities and resources in order to strengthen each SNA.

The Midwest Multistate Division is accredited as an approver and provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA).

Missouri Nurses Foundation

Since its inception, the Missouri Nurses Foundation has been about the business of raising dollars to begin establishing endowment monies to support activities. Building that nest egg has been a slow but steady process. To date, donations received have provided seed money for foundation activities and awards.

The MISSION of the Missouri Nurses Foundation is to promote and advance the nursing profession, and enhance the health and well-being of Missourians.

MEMBER TESTIMONIALS

Why join the Missouri Nurses Association?

As a nurse living and/or working in Missouri I believe we owe it to ourselves, the profession and our patients to be an active member of the Missouri Nurses Association.

It is a benefit to ourselves through professional development and leadership opportunities. The benefit to the profession and our patients come from our advocacy in the legislative realm. Being a member strengthens the profession.
